While driving normally on the highway, I've continuously experienced the car randomly revving between 3000 and 4000 rpms while driving on the highway and on regular roads. It will get stuck at 2000 rpms and will not accelerate or decelerate no matter how hard the gas/brake is pressed. It has been taken to the dealership I purchased it from twice now, and both times they have told me they cannot find anything wrong with the car, no codes or anything. I do not feel safe in a car I'm paying $402 a month for. I have contacted Kia corporate in atlanta and opened a case with Kia consumer assistance online. Waiting response from both. Will not buy another Kia after I lemon law this car. My family has always had Kia's and never had any issue with them. I previously had a 2016 Sportage that also had transmission problems.

My Kia Sportage 2019 caught fire on the highway in new market md at around 10:30 am 9/26/19. We had previously taken the car to the dealership where we purchased it back in 12/2019. It had only 3900+/- miles on it. The oil, filter, tire rotation and 27 point inspection was done on 9/19/19. As I was in the left lane of rte 70 wb I noticed blue smoke coming from the back of the car. I put on my flashers and signaled over to the right shoulder. I called my husband and was quite hysterical because now the front of the car was smoking a brownish-black. It quickly started coming in they the vents. I couldn't figure out what to do - may have been in some sort of shock. But I finally left the vehicle but was still too close. A passerby, jeremiah darling of NJ, assisted me to a safe place and I heard a pop then the flames started coming quickly.

Purchased car on July 28 2019 from hollywood Kia. Took it to their service center on November 26 for complimentary oil and filter change. On December 5 on the I-75 expressway got an alarm sound and sign that the "engine has overheated". managed to get home, next day waited all day for towing company. Either car is defective or the service they did caused this dangerous issue.
